You know those bottles with the labels on them that say Do Not Take Internally? Yeah, well. I can't help it. I take everything internally.

Surviving On Musicals

I know I haven't been posting much lately...I'm sorry, I can't think of anything to say. In fact, I can barely get myself through each day. I've never had days that took so long to get over! They just stretch on and on, with no purpose in them.
If you knew me, you'd laugh. I'm the girl on a mission. Who is always stressed because there isn't enough minutes to do all that MUST be done that day, all the school and paintings and novels and pieces of fabric all waiting for me to get into them and create something. You wouldn't recognize me now, I'm afraid.

I feel embarrassed to cry, so I've created a new outlet for my girlish emotion: musicals and old films. I must watch one every night or I absolutely lose it and can't carry on. I've gone through them voraciously, Sabrina, High Noon, Gone With The Wind, and Fiddler On The Roof have been my latest conquests. I eat them whole, consuming the luscious, intricate costuming, clever and thoughtful dialogue, uplifting force-you-to-sing scores, or epic wide-screen scenery shots.

I'm waiting for a rescue, or at least for school to start, but until then, thank God for old movies! Anyone have reccomendations for any more? I don't care how grainy the black and white is, or predictable every line is, I just need food for survival!

Oh, and if my posts are all about old people for the next...say, 10 posts, I'm sorry. I can't help it, its all I'm living off.

Cry!
And move to Ohio!
(Haha. You know that that will be the answer to all life's problems from here on out. ;-) )
And ummm, I have no musicals to recommend, unfortunately. My humblest apologies!
But ugggggh, I do know the feeling of going on and on and on lifelessly not wanting to, as you know, haha, so I really do feel your pain!
Forgive a girl for being brassy, but do you think that the hole the musicals are filling could be a hole that needs filled by more real honest time with Jesus?
